http://www.starsandseas.com/SAS%20Cells/SAS%20cellphysiol/SAS%20cellrespir/anaerobicrespir.htm
Just like a car engine that needs a spark energized from the car's battery before it can convert gasoline into energy, anaerobic respiration (glycolysis) needs a boost of energy to get started. This site provides a step-by-step explanation of anaerobic respiration, complete with diagrams.

 

Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

To determine whether a species is in danger of extinction, a population viability assessment must be conducted. This site contains a three-page summary of a population viability assessment of the whooping crane that was prepared by the U.S.-based Conservation Breeding Specialist Group. Click Reports and from the drop-down list click PHVA Reports. You'll find the article on whooping cranes at the bottom of the Birds page.
